I do think that evangelicals in general need to think seriously about how you pass on your faith across generations and over the long haul.

The Democratic Party's rigidly pro-choice stance is one of the more unyielding positions in contemporary American politics.

I think that secular liberals need to recognize that they are still, often, hanging their worldview on what are metaphysical ideas.

What replaces Christianity isn't going to be Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and so on. It's going to be something else and something secular people may not like very much.

I think it is very clear that, though great difference remained, evangelicals moved closer to Catholics, mainline Protestants and evangelical Protestants moved closer together, and this convergence coincided with greater institutional strength for all the Christian churches than, for the most part, you see today.

The idea of universal human rights may not seem as weird to some people as the idea of a personal God, but it is still a metaphysical idea that liberalism, at least as we know it, couldn't really survive without.

If you're willing to recognize the religious element in one secular ideology, you need to be able to recognize it in your own.
